Homes plans for historic 49-acre Burton's factory

Lodged by housebuilder Avant Homes, the plans include transforming the 49-acre former Burton's clothing factory site in Burmantofts into a “thriving” new sustainable community.

Named Montague Place after Sir Montague Burton, founder of what at at its height was the world’s largest clothing factory, the initial phase of the development off Torre Road will see 302 energy-efficient homes whilst retaining the site’s cultural significance.
